If it is Condominium, the government has no authority to order mandatory swabbing?

What happen if a person refuses to be swabbed? Will he be charged in court?

SINGAPORE -Residents in a Housing Board block in Yishun, and two blocks in Hougang have been asked to go for swab tests after surveillance measures and wastewater testing detected likely cases of Covid-19 transmission.
The mandatory tests will be conducted for all residents living in Block 745 Yishun Street 72, as well as Block 501 and 507 Hougang Avenue 8, on Tuesday and Wednesday, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a release on Monday (May 31).
MOH said surveillance testing detected six Covid-19 cases residing in Block 745 Yishun Street 72 from two different households with subsequent wastewater testing detecting Covid-19 viral fragments in the block
Investigations are ongoing to determine linkages and the source of transmission.
In a letter to residents seen by The Straits Times on Monday (May 31), Grassroots Adviser to Nee Soon GRC Faishal Ibrahim said this was a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of residents of Block 745 Yishun Street 72.
He added that residents living in surrounding blocks need not be tested unless they have visited households in Block 745 between May 15 and May 24.
"Nee Soon Town Council has done a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the common area at Block 745 and the surrounding blocks," he said.
Separately, mandatory testing will also be carried out at Blocks 501 and 507 Hougang Avenue 8, after Covid-19 viral fragments were detected in wastewater samples collected from these blocks. There are currently no Covid-19 cases there.
The tests for all three blocks will be conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday between 9am to 4pm.
Leaflets will be distributed and SMS notifications will be sent out to residents to provide them with more information, added MOH.
"Residents are also advised to monitor their health closely and consult a doctor immediately if they feel unwell."
Earlier, MOH had identified 11 Covid-19 cases from at least four households in Block 506 Hougang Avenue 8. Two of these were detected from a mandatory testing exercise for residents.

Residents and shop staff of 8 Hougang HDB blocks to go for Covid-19 test
This comes after a new cluster was linked to Block 506 Hougang Avenue 8.ST PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI
SINGAPORE - Residents, visitors and staff at eight Housing Board blocks in Hougang will undergo Covid-19 swab tests after new cases of infection were reported in neighbouring blocks.
The tests will be mandatory for residents and visitors of Block 506 Hougang Avenue 8, as well as shop staff in neighbouring blocks, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Thursday (June 3).
The neighbouring blocks are Block 511 Hougang Avenue 10; Blocks 681, 683 and 684 Hougang Avenue 8; Block 682 Hougang Avenue 4; and Blocks 685 and 698 Hougang Street 61.
This comes after a new cluster was linked to Block 506 Hougang Avenue 8. A 58-year-old Singaporean woman, who is a housewife and resides there, was among the 35 new cases in the community reported on Thursday. A total of 13 cases have been linked to the cluster.
Last month, residents in Block 506 Hougang Avenue 8 underwent testing after several people living in the 12-storey block tested positive for Covid-19.
Several amenities, such as supermarket outlets, fast-food restaurants, food stalls and retail shops, are located in the neighbouring blocks, four of which are part of the Hougang Village neighbourhood centre.
The swab tests will be conducted at Block 507 Hougang Avenue 8 on Friday and Saturday, between 9am and 4pm.
MOH said that the mandatory testing is to detect cases who were still incubating the virus in the first round of testing and to prevent spread in the community.
In the event that a positive case is detected, the ministry will isolate the case, identify all close contacts, test and quarantine them to protect the community from further transmission, it said.
The ministry will also be conducting voluntary testing for those who were at neighbouring blocks to prevent further spread and detect asymptomatic cases. Residents and visitors who were at the blocks between May 19 and June 3 are encouraged to undergo testing.
Leaflets and text notifications will be sent to inform residents to provide them with more information.
Mr Darryl David, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, which six of the neighbouring blocks are under, said that he would be going around to the shops in Hougang Village on Friday to encourage tenants and shop staff to get tested for Covid-19. Grassroots leaders and the chairman of the Hougang Village Merchants' Association will also be doing so, and keep to safe distancing measures, he added.
The latest round of swab tests comes after mandatory testing for residents living in Blocks 501 and 507 Hougang Avenue 8 began on Tuesday, after Covid-19 viral fragments were detected in wastewater samples collected from the blocks.
MOH said the tests have been completed, and that as at Thursday, 680 individuals have tested negative, while one person tested positive.
Investigations are ongoing to determine links and the transmission source.
